French producer and Discodeine member Pilooski returns with his new “Isola” EP that pays tribute to Wolff Schoemaker’s 1933 masterpiece Villa Isola, an art-deco building located in the northern suburbs of Bandung, Indonesia. It’s a delicate record of four exotic and minimalist spoken word pieces, an imaginary soundtrack for Villa Isola’s projection room. The EP features guest contributions from Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, Judah Warsky, Narumi Hérisson (of Tristesse Contemporaine), and French writer Simon Liberati. Here’s a track from the forthcoming record, “Completely Sun”, featuring Jarvis Cocker reading an extract from Carl Gustav Jung’s “The Red Book”.

Pilooski’s new “Isola” EP will arrive in both vinyl and digital formats on October 26th via Dirty/Kompakt. Stream the whole thing here and pre-order your copy here. Update: Watch the video for “Completely Sun”, directed by Dodi El Sherbini.

Yes, all we want for New Year is Classixx’s long-awaited debut album. After the release of their debut hit single, ‘I’ll Get You’, in mid-2009 and their stunning 80-esque disco remixes for Phoenix, Holy Ghost!, Groove Armada, Mayer Hawthorne, Drop The Lime and Beni, amongst others, the Los Angeles-duo of Tyler Blake and Micheal David are preparing their first LP for release in early 2011. We bet that 2011 will be all about Classixx! Prepare yourselves.

We are big fans of Discodeine, the French duo of Pilooski and Pentile, and it shows.

Can’t wait for their self-titled debut on February 25th, 2011 via Dirty/Pschent.

THE AIKIU – TBA

Some things simply blend in perfectly together, like The Aikiu’s voice, performance and style. The Aikiu’s debut single, ‘Just Can’t Sleep’, one of our favourite of 2010, it was only the beginning. Now the French singer Alex Aikiu is ready to release his second catchy pop single, ‘The Red Kiss’, (already The Magician delivered a great remix) in January. His debut album is due out early 2011. Bring it on before we lose our sleep…

In our space we most certainly like his noise because the 20-year-old New Yorker producer Nicolas Jaar makes us wonder about things, such as “How can you talk about a landscape without showing the sky and the earth?”. His long-awaited first album, ‘Space Is Only Noise’, is coming out on February 14th via Circus Company and from what we read it “features the same romantic panache that has characterized much of Jaar’s music to date, with off-kilter, melancholy grooves and lyrics delivered in French”.

In 2010, Sweden’s duo Korallreven , made up of Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder of The Radio Dept. released two blissful singles, ‘The Truest Faith’ and ‘Honey Mine’, featuring Victoria Bergsman on vocals. It was enough to makes us anticipate for their debut album, which is expected to be released in Spring 2011. Let it flow…

Following on his previous singles ‘My Love Sees You’ and ‘Maximus’ on Kitsuné, Beni has recently signed with Modular Recordings for his soon-to-be-released debut album. His LP was written and recorded in various studios, bedrooms, airports, hotels, flights, trains from New York to Hiroshima and back. Sounds very lagasta to us! Keep your eyes peeled for the first single from Beni’s debut album, ‘It’s A Bubble’, which comes with The Magician’s stellar remix!

The wait is almost over. Newly signed to Wall Of Sound, Chris Glover, aka Penguin Prison, is gearing up to the release of his debut album early in 2011. We have already hopped on his golden train on a crazy ride hoping to be “multi-millionaire”-s. Yes, you got it right, this is his next single, out in early 2011. Excellent way to start the year…

London-based four piece Clock Opera are currently putting the finishing touches on their debut album, which at long last will be released in early 2011. After listening to their brilliant remixes and singles we certainly believe that 2011 will be all around the clock.

‘Synchronize’ is the first single from their forthcoming full-length, due out in February 2011 on Dirty/Pschent. Watch out for the new video for ‘Synchronize’, starring Jarvis – soon to be unveiled next month.

After the release of their ‘Singular’ EP, Discodeine (= Pilooski and Pentile) strikes again with another new track from their forthcoming debut album. It’s called, ‘Synchronize’, and features Jarvis Cocker on vocals! The track was included on The Magician’s latest magic tape and since then has been on repeat in our gas stereo. It’s simply AMAZING!

French duo Discodeine (= Pilooski and Pentile) are back with the summer jam called ‘Singular’, featuring Matias Aguayo on vocals.
